ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00002968

Purpose

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as edrecolomab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known whether surgery to remove colon cancer is more effect with or without monoclonal antibody therapy.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of surgery with or without monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients who have stage II colon cancer.

Disease-free survival [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	2100
Study Start Date:	May 1997

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Determine whether adjuvant therapy with edrecolomab improves the probability of survival and disease-free survival and increases disease-free intervals in patients who have undergone resection for stage II colon cancer.
Determine whether alterations in the expression cell cycle related genes predict the risk of survival or recurrence in this patient population.
Determine whether alterations in markers of metastatic potential such as expression of the "Deleted in Colon Cancer" (DCC) gene, and measures of tumor angiogenesis predict the risk of survival and recurrence in these patients.
Determine whether markers of cellular differentiation (e.g., sucrase isomaltase) predict the risk of survival or recurrence in these patients.
Determine whether DNA ploidy and cell proliferation are prognostic of tumor recurrence and overall survival in stage II colon cancer.
Determine whether interactions among these tumor markers identify subsets of patients with significantly altered outcomes.
Determine whether pathologic features including tumor grade, tumor mitotic (proliferation) index, tumor border configuration, and host lymphoid response to tumor and lymphatic, venous, and perineural invasion predict outcome in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are stratified according to degree of differentiation (well vs moderately well vs poor), vascular or lymphatic invasion (no vs yes), and preoperative serum CEA (less than 5.0 ng/mL vs at least 5.0 ng/mL vs unknown). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

Arm I: Patients receive adjuvant edrecolomab IV over 2 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 5 courses. Patients must begin therapy no earlier than 7 days and no later than 42 days postsurgical resection. Patients also undergo observation at 3 and 6 months postrandomization.
Arm II: Patients undergo observation at 3 and 6 months postrandomization. Patients are followed after the last course of edrecolomab (arm I) and at 12 months (arm II). All patients are followed every 6 months for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 2,100 patients will be accrued for this study within 4.7 years.
